Chapter 96: The Side Effects of Mastering the Sacrifice Space
Even a nine-tailed fox cannot withstand Yaojia’s might. Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one.
Looking at Han Yun's fleeing back, Yao Jia held her head in her hands, unable to tell for a moment whether what she saw was real or an illusion.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted into my nose.
Shu Huan put the spicy chicken bought from the mall on the table and called Yao Jia.
"Come and eat."
Yaojia's injuries have healed, but he still can't get out of the illusion.
"Little female, are you okay?" Yaojia smelled the spicy aroma, searched through his memory, and found that it was something he had never smelled before. So, this time it was not an illusion but reality?
"Yeah, it's nothing. Don't scare yourself anymore."
Shu Huan helped Yaojia sit down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and put them in Yaojia's hand.
Yaojia took a bite of the white, crystal-clear thing in front of him and found it chewy and fragrant, something he had never tasted before.
"What's this?"
Shu Huan replied, "It's rice."
The orcs didn't know how to grow crops, let alone what rice was, and had never eaten rice.
“Delicious…” Yaojia ate the rice frantically.
Shu Huan picked up a piece of spicy chicken for Yao Jia. Yao Jia tasted it and found it was not very spicy but left a lingering taste in her mouth. It was even better than fried chicken.
Yaojia took a bite of rice and a bite of spicy chicken. Shu Huan bought ten servings in a row before he was able to feed Yaojia.
"Is it delicious?" Shu Huan asked caringly.
Not only is it delicious, it also has the effect of dispelling illusions. Yaojia nodded.
"Then, can you forgive me?" Shu Huan asked.
"Forgive?" Yao Jia was at a loss, "Why should I forgive you? What did you do?"
Shu Huan, "..."
How could he ask her to say that she wiped out the entire Yuanshan tribe, including his father?
"I'll give you something..."
Shu Huan took out the tiger-shaped blue copper ore.
"It was your mother who asked your brother Yao Yuan to send it here."
Yaojia took the blue copper ore, and all the past events flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.
He remembered that all his people had been swallowed up by Ni Dun.
"That Ni Dun is my incarnation, and that 'I' is the one who was transformed by your storage bag."
"Storage bag?" Yaojia felt like her head was no longer her own.
Shu Huan spread out his hands, and the animal-tooth-shaped storage bag lay in his palm.
Yaojia picked up the storage bag and found that there were many more of his favorite foods in the storage bag.
"I know I went a little too far. After all, they are your people and family...
It’s just that after your father died, his body was taken over by Jiuying. After returning to the tribe, Jiuying turned the Yuanshan tribe into his puppet concentration camp.
So, they are actually monsters in the skin you are familiar with. If I don’t destroy them, the Luchai Forest and even the entire Beast World might be destroyed by them.”
"Then why are my Am and elder brother still here?" Yaojia seemed to have accepted the reality and no longer hid in the illusion.
Shu Huan said, "The little bit of consciousness your father had left prevented Jiuying from swallowing them. He would rather let the relatives who killed him suffer in conscious state."
Yaojia sat in the chair in a daze, the scene in front of him distorted again, he seemed to be back in the purgatory under the main city, enduring the excruciating pain of his scapula being pierced.
Seeing Yaojia's eyes wide open and all his efforts going to waste, Shu Huan raised his hand and slapped Yaojia in the face.
Yaojia didn't feel anything, but Shu Huan's hand was hurt from being hit.
"I want to go see Amu and Yaoyuan."
Yao Jia came back to his senses and finally expressed his thoughts. Shu Huan let out a long sigh.
"Okay, we'll go with you."
Before leaving, Shu Huan gave Shui Su the medicine for the third course of treatment and told Shui Su that Yao Jia had asked her to do so when he was briefly conscious.
Shui Su was very grateful, Shu Huan said.
"Before, Yaojia did not ask the Lakeland Tribe to pay tribute because Shuiqing sacrificed her life to avenge my beast husband's father and mother.
But now that your illness has been cured, the four tribes of Misty Lake have all become Yaojia's territory, and you, the Lakeland Tribe, can no longer make an exception."
Shui Su said, "Yes, we will hand over the offerings according to the rules."
Shu Huan nodded, "Also, don't try to take advantage of the situation and send someone to my bed again. This is just the first time, and it won't happen again."
"Ah?" Shui Su said aggrievedly, "How could I send someone to your bed against the Lord's wishes? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"You weren't the one who sent two orcs to my bed?"
Shui Su swore to the heavens, "It really wasn't me."
Shu Huan waved his hand and Shui Su retreated.
It wasn’t sent by Shuisu. The chief of the lakeside tribe was grateful for Yaojia’s protection and it was impossible for him to do such a thing. Could it be... an illusion?
"Mo Mo! Mo Mo! Mo Mo!" Shu cheered.
Momo, "What?"
Shu Huan talked about the two orcs, "Why do I always experience strange things since I came back from the main city?"
Momo, "Trigger the main quest and master the side effects of the living sacrifice space."
What, there are side effects when doing tasks?
Momo touched her fingers together, "Yes, if the monster you sacrifice has huge energy, it will have a great impact on the host, and it may even be irreversible."
"So I'm very likely to have the aftereffect of not being able to distinguish between reality and illusion because of the sacrifice of the monster? Wouldn't that make me a mental patient? Oh my God!" Shu Huan was about to collapse.
Momo comforted Shu Huan, "But as long as the host masters the side effects, that is to say, the host can create an illusion that the target cannot distinguish between true and false, isn't it amazing?"
Shu Huan's mouth twitched, "I already have enough skills, can I refuse?"
Momo, "Once a mission is assigned, it cannot be taken back and cannot be refused."
Shu Huan held his forehead.
When Shu Huan gave Shui Su the last course of medicine, Yao Jia, accompanied by Ling Wangjin and Mu Heng, went to the lakeside tribe and the lake-residing tribe.
Seeing that the lord was still as powerful as ever, everyone cheered, thinking that the fear of losing protection again had dissipated, and was replaced by a prosperous scene.
When Yaojia came back, Shu Huan sat on Xiaotiantian's back and headed towards the distant mountain tribe with Wuzhuo and Hanyun.
When passing by the Misty Tribe, Shu Huan saw from afar that the houses in the tribe were still arranged in an orderly manner as before, and the cubs were chasing and playing, but there were almost no young and middle-aged orcs to be seen.
Wu Zhuo followed Shu Huan's line of sight and looked over. "All the young and strong men of the Misty Tribe were sent to mine gold. Shu Lie went too."
Without Shu Huan's special care, Shu Lie, as the clan leader and Shu Huan's father, still could not escape enslavement.
If Shu Huan wanted to intervene, it would only take a word. But Shu Huan didn't want to intervene, just like when she was starving, bullied and humiliated, Shu Lie chose to turn a blind eye. She could also ignore it.
Seeing that the little female had no intention of rescuing Shu Lie, Wu Zhuo said nothing more.
The Yuanshan Tribe is at the edge of the forest, west of Tangting Mountain, and only half a day's journey away from the Misty Tribe.
After wading through the blood river and walking forward, they were about to reach the distant mountain tribe. Yaojia folded his wings and landed beside Xiao Tiantian.
"What's wrong?" Shu Huan asked Yao Jia.
Yaojia's eyes flashed with horror, "The Yuanshan tribe has disappeared."
